Biography
Skinner was the son of a British father and an Italian-American and Irish-American mother, born in 1946 in Sandford, Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom. He became the owner of a local supermarket of the Somerfield chain, and in 2007 he joined the Neighbourhood Watch Alliance (NWA), an alleged Town Watch which really killed people in the name of the "greater good": it was created by Inspector Frank Butterman to avenge his wife's suicide after all of the money she put into the town's cleanliness was wasted when tourists ruined the place. Skinner became the leader of the NWA while Butterman kept the police of the NWA's case, gaining 16 allies. Murdering "problem" people such as underage drinkers, an actor and his wife, a man who knew the actor, and news reporter Tim Messenger (who was covering the case), Skinner was found out by Sgt. Nicholas Angel, who prepared to liberate the town after faking his death.

On 14 February 2007 Angel took down many of his people non-lethally in a shootout, and he pursued Skinner to a model village. He wounded Skinner, who then slipped and was impaled through the chin by a model church tower, mortally wounding him.
